The British Film Commission (BFC) and the Italian Film Commissions (IFC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen collaboration between the U.K. and Italian screen industries.<\/p>\n
The MoU will also facilitate film and high-end TV production between the two countries.<\/p>\n
The MoU will see the two film commissions encourage greater creative, commercial and cultural exchange between the U.K. and Italy while working together to actively foster opportunities to support inward investment for film and high-end television production in both territories. It will also strengthen the relationship between the network of regional organizations and partners in both territories, with which both commissions work so closely.<\/p>\n
Adrian Wootton OBE, chief executive of the British Film Commission, said: \u201cWe are thrilled to build upon our excellent relationship with the Italian Film Commissions through this friendship agreement. Globally, we\u2019ve seen a huge increase in the amount of film and high-end TV production commissioned in recent years. It\u2019s genuinely an extremely exciting time for the screen industries with opportunities for all growing. Strong collaborative European relationships such as the one between the U.K. and Italy are key to our shared success. There are already some brilliant examples of collaboration with high-profile productions being filmed between Italy and the U.K., including Paramount Picture\u2019s Mission: Impossible\u2014Dead Reckoning\u2014Part One<\/em>, Disney+\u2019s Pinocchio<\/em> and Universal\u2019s No Time To Die<\/em>. We look forward to working with our friends in Italy to foster even stronger ties between our two countries, exploring new ways of working together, creatively and commercially, in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n Cristina Priarone, president of IFC Italian Film Commissions, said: \u201cIn this moment of high vitality worldwide in production, our IFC Association is keen on promoting partnerships to foster international linking. Building bridges with the U.K. is a key point on this issue, and the wise work of the British Film Commission in the MoU framework paves the way for Italian producers and professionals to strengthen their relationships with the British AV industry, with the aim to open up new chances and exchanges.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The British Film Commission (BFC) and the Italian Film Commissions (IFC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen collaboration between the U.K. and Italian screen industries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":11922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2322,2923],"class_list":["post-11921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-british-film-commission","tag-italian-film-commissions"],"yoast_head":"\n
